Elisa Lam's autopsy report to be announced this week: Police

TruthLover557, I can only speak for myself, but I cannot hold you accountable for the failiures of the police to make good on thier announcement. You
reported to the membership something that had been announced, something which you had every right to do, and which many of us would be grateful for.
That the release of the details of the autopsy findings is yet to happen, is not a matter within your control, so do not feel bad about it.

I value your input Iamnotadoctor. However, melodrama was hardly my intention. I was merely attempting to show some support and understanding to
truthlover557. Having the rug pulled out from under ones thread, by things outside ones own control is never an enjoyable expirience.

Thank you, TrueBrit. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. This is one of two cases I've ever followed that appears to have been blacked out in the
media. I wish a legitimate media source would pressure the police department for answers. I have no idea what it will take to get the police
department to update the public on this case. The silence remains deeply troubling. I continue to look for new reports daily and hope we have answers
some time in the near future. Will keep you posted.

I have a 21yo daughter,so this is very sad for me to watch-but i did watch the video;

And i have to say,being a fan of Asian,especially South Korean horror movies-this makes me think of something out of a SK/Jap horror movie.Certainly
it appears she may have been hallucinating.I wonder what the hold-up is with the coroner's report?
Of course,whatever the coroner's office sees fit to release as a public statement may not be the true factual findings-or it may be.Very sad,that's
all i can really say.

Im with you on that. The manner of her discovery, and one must assume, her death are clearly suspicious, and the delay in publishing her autopsy
report merely heaps on further helpings of both mystery and concern.

The sooner that report is published, the sooner we can get down to figuring out what happened on the roof of that hotel.

Just to clarify, the reason I replied to the OP in the way that I did, was because I have been around here long enough to know that when a subject
starts flapping in the wind, occasionally someone will start poking the member who posted the thread with the proverbial pointy stick, and it never
serves any purpose. Thats all.

I have googled Elisa Lam's name every day for the last three months, primarily because so many questions remain unanswered. I don't know if the
LAPD's report will answer these questions or not. From what I've seen, no new information has been discovered on this case since the beginning of
March. A disturbing media black out surrounds this case.

I find this all very odd too. It is amazing that we have not heard one peep from the media in three countries. The coverage of the case has been
troubling; the Canadian press was privy to info that has never been corrected here and they along with the Chinese were the only ones to even probe or
ask questions. The CBC reported at the time of her autopsy that the LAPD called last minute to cancel an interview because higher ups instructed that
they were no longer to speak on the case at all. WTH? I was suspecting media black out and you provide further confirmation that this is
unprecedented.

Next question is why? All I can think is that they may think they know this is a homicide and anything they might release could compromise the
investigation. Many "hints" were dropped by police that they have evidence it was foul play. Still, why can they not make a simple statement that it
was homicide, accident, or undetermined. The autopsy is a matter of public record, so they cannot sit on it forever.

I wrote the original reporters of the case at the LA Times and received a polite reply informing me there was a coroner's back log in toxicology, and
he would update as soon as they had anything. I waited and wrote again saying it was hard to believe that it could take nearly 5 months and mentioned
how suspicious it was that all media reporting ceased within 2 days of her autopsy. This time I heard nothing.

If the police haven't been able to get any leads on what happened I'm surprised they haven't just made a statement of 'death by misadventure', or
whatever...
Hopefully the silence is because they have been following important leads.

So much darkness surrounds this event, say what you will.. but i cannot ever remember anything like this before, that was so very public, remember..
she was in that tank for a week or so.. by public, i don't mean media exposure.

On the surface, this seems like a mystery.. a "who did it" that had us running down rabbit holes for a few weeks, uncovering links to defense
contractors, and other well placed red herrings.

But all the clues were given, the video, the *well to do* young man in a red suit.. the unnatural nature of the event.. where it took place, and most
importantly the writing scrawled on the tank.

For me, this was like a sledgehammer event. Either the perp's knew their Voodoo Hoodo.. or this was a real "event" either way it reeks of occult,
and that's why you wont get any closure any time soon.. that stuff has a way of just being a loose thread.. mystery.. whatever you want to peg it..
but it'll fade like so many things at that place do.. so many things.. IMO that building needs to be removed from time and space.

I do hope they come to some form of conclusion, for both her Family, and the LEO's and anyone else involved in the investigation.. this isn't
something you want to be thinking about in your retirement.. closure of some form would be the best thing, but it'll be a lie, the truth... is just
to sick to comprehend. and raises many more questions that many would prefer left unasked.

My theory is, they were hoping to find a cause in the toxicology, but it came back clean.. totally.. clean.

The original autopsy report failed to determine her cause of death. In February, the LAPD said additional autopsy and toxicology tests would be
performed and results could be expected in 6-8 weeks. Well, more than 15 weeks have passed and everyone and their dog is still waiting. So you didn't
find anything because nothing new is out there. If this frustrates you, you aren't alone.

This entire case is a mystery. Her behavior in the elevator was strange. It seemed like she was on something to be frank. How she got onto the roof
and into the water tank is also something that is mysterious. The door to the roof was locked at all times, and I believe that the tank had a lock on
it as well (don't quote me on that). Surely the police should have rooted out the suspect by now?

Afterall, the only people with access to the key needed to get onto the roof, were the employees at the hotel. Why has so little info been released?
And surely one of the security cameras caught something suspicious (aside from the elevator camera). So why are the cops being so tight-lipped?

One other thing that I found to be extremely odd was this. A few days prior to Elisa Lam arriving at her hotel, there was a TB outbreak in the area.
The curious thing is...that the name of the test that determines whether or not someone has TB...is called LAM ELISA.

Can someone please link me to a reliable medically related source stating that the TB diagnosis tool is called "Lam Elisa" because a simple google
search only brings up a link with Elisa Lam and a conspiracy.

These are a few different sources that mention it. You have to delve into Google a bit in order fo find them. Granted, a lot of the info went way
above my head, but it's interesting nontheless. I'm also unsure of the validity of these sources, but they seem legit.
